"Fiori di Ricami Nuovamente Posti in Luce" (1591) by Matteo Florimi is a title page from a book of embroidery patterns, showcasing the artistic and practical appeal of embroidery in 16th century Venice. Florimi, a prominent designer of the period, presents his work in a clear and concise manner with an elegant, decorative border. This intricately detailed page, now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a valuable glimpse into the history of needlework and the role of embroidery in Italian society.
